DetNet
Excellence in mining electronic initiation.
About DetNet
DetNet is a South African company that designs and manufactures electronic initiation systems for the mining, quarrying, and construction industries. Founded in 2002, it operates as a joint venture between AECI Limited and Dyno Nobel (formerly Incitec Pivot), with its products distributed globally through both AEL Mining Services (AECI subsidiary) and Dyno Nobel. Over 20 years, DetNet has shipped tens of millions of electronic detonators and holds 80+ patents.
DetNet's primary focus is on hardware-based electronic initiation systems, with software products serving as companion tools for blast planning and reporting. Its software is notable for being the actual development source of the ViewShot 3D blast design tool that is marketed and distributed by Dyno Nobel and AEL. Products include the DigiShot Ranger and CE4 Commander surface systems, BlastWeb II underground system, and CyberDet wireless detonator technology.

Sorted alphabeticallyLogShot
by DetNet
LogShot is a post-blast data management and reporting application that retrieves, displays, and archives blast data from DetNet hardware after a blast event. It enables users to generate blast reports for regulatory compliance, performance analysis, and operational records. LogShot serves as the post-blast reporting complement to the pre-blast design capabilities of ViewShot 3D and ViewShot Xpress.
ViewShot 3D
by DetNet
ViewShot 3D is DetNet's flagship blast timing and design software, developed in-house and distributed globally through Dyno Nobel and AEL Mining Services. The software enables users to design initiation timing sequences, simulate blast outcomes, and download plans directly to DetNet's CE4 Tagger control equipment. It includes graphical tools for designing initiation sequences including chevron timing, row pattern timing, and shock tube-style firing sequences via its TimePath tool.
ViewShot Xpress
by DetNet
ViewShot Xpress is a simplified version of DetNet's blast design software, designed for users who need basic blast timing design functionality. It provides graphical tools for designing initiation sequences with manual and dynamic delays, supports flexible hole configuration, and includes timing analysis tools. The software runs on both computers and tablets, making it suitable for field use in operations that do not require the full capabilities of ViewShot 3D.
